Eldoret-based policewoman arrested after shooting husband twelve times over domestic dispute.
A policewoman from the Administration Police Service (APS) has been arrested on allegations of shooting and killing her husband during a domestic dispute on the outskirts of Eldoret town.
The officer, a mother of three, was working at the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) when she took her service weapon and left for home early on Sunday morning.
Witnesses reported hearing a heated argument between the couple before gunshots rang out, prompting neighbors to flee for their safety.
The policewoman allegedly fired more than 12 bullets inside their home, killing her husband.
She fled the scene after the shooting but later turned herself in at the Eldoret police station, where she was arrested.
The police statement shows that after the quarrel, the police officer left the house to report to duty in her work station which is a stone’s throw away from their home.

“The accused alleged went back to check on her children in their rented house and her husband turned to her with a knife wanting to stab her,” the statement read in part.
The police officer in self-defence used her work-assigned rifle to shoot the husband repeatedly.
The incident was confirmed by Uasin Gishu County Police Commander Benjamin Mwanthi, who stated that the deceased’s body had been moved to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital morgue.
“The female officer is now in our custody, and we are actively investigating the matter,” Mwanthi affirmed.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident in order to determine what happened.
The accused is set to appear in court on Monday, October 15.
